Session with VR (virtual visual reality) biofeedback device with MOVE sensors
Biodex 4 Pro session
Kinesiotherapy on the S-E-T system
Session for active and passive rehabilitation of the lower and upper extremities (THERA-vital)
Hardware Verticalization on Verticalization Platform with Estimation of Parameters of Main Systems
Electric stimulation of the mediastinal nerves ("Neurosoft")
Neuro-electromystimulation, carbon electrodes
Sessions on the development of verticalization walking
Therapeutic rhythmic transcranial and transvertibral magnetic stimulation
Neuroacoustic programming
Household activation in the closest environment of the patient. Adaptation to staying in a sitting position
